Merchant perspective: The merchant processes a payment using their existing payments processing systems. Vodafone Wallet simply facilitates the payment by securely passing payment credentials to the merchant, and is not a party to the transaction. Even though the transaction is facilitated by Vodafone Wallet, the merchant is the seller of record for the purchase.
Security: Encrypted payment data. Vodafone Wallet sends to merchants a virtual card number. (Update to follow – Further information being obtained)[/otw_shortcode_content_toggle]
